The Shirousarukai of Xalkalan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sei-i Taishogun Hakutoku Kou with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.272 billion Xalkalriens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shikinai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Xalkalrien economy, worth 591 trillion Mameitagins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,428 Mameitagins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,896 per year while the poor average 14,462, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, beggars lack pockets for spare change, home renovation projects take decades to complete, and pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Xalkalan's national animal is the Twin-tailed Xalkalrien monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yamatosazan.

Xalkalan is ranked 81,280^th in the world and 2,066^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
